PROGRAF 1 MG 50 tablets

Prograf 1 mg

Prograf 1 mg is an immunosuppressant medicine that is used to treat moderate to severe atopic dermatitis (eczema) and prevent organ rejection following a transplant. Eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, is a common skin ailment characterized by irritated and itchy skin areas. Itchy, dry, flaky, bloated, rough, and irritated skin are some of the symptoms. When a patient’s immune system perceives a donated organ as foreign and attempts to destroy it, organ rejection occurs.

Prograf 1 mg contains ‘Tacrolimus,’ which works by preventing immune cells in the skin from overreacting to a stimuli. As a result, allergic reactions and inflammation are reduced (redness and swelling). T and B lymphocytes (cells in the immune system) that typically attack foreign invaders and defend the body against foreign cells and infection are also suppressed by Prograf 1 mg. As a result, organ rejection in transplanted patients is reduced, and the body is better able to absorb the new organ.

Follow your doctor’s instructions for taking Prograf 1 mg. Prograf 1 mg should be used for as long as your doctor has prescribed it based on your medical condition. Itching, burning sensations, redness, pain, skin tingling, nausea, diarrhea, headache, elevated blood sugar levels, kidney difficulties, disorientation, or stomach pain are all possible side effects. The majority of Prograf 1 mg side effects do not require medical care and fade away with time. Please visit your doctor if the side effects persist or worsen.

Please inform your doctor if you are allergic to Prograf 1 mg or any other medications. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, you should seek medical advice before taking Prograf 1 mg. Alcohol drinking should be avoided when taking Prograf 1 mg because it may raise the chance of severe side effects. Prograf 1 mg may induce drowsiness, dizziness, or vision issues, so drive only if you are alert. Bandage or dressing should not be used to cover or wrap the treated area. Prograf 1 mg causes the fabric (bedding, clothing, and dressings) in contact with it to catch fire and burn easily, thus avoid smoking or coming near naked flames.

Concerns of Patients

Eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, is a common skin ailment characterized by irritated and itchy skin areas. It happens when an overactive immune system reacts forcefully to stimuli presented to it. It commonly affects the inner elbows, arms, back of the knees, or head, but it can affect any part of the body. Eczema is an infectious skin condition. Scratching irritates and inflames the skin, which can lead to infections that require antibiotic treatment. Itchy, dry, flaky, bloated, rough, and irritated skin are some of the symptoms.

When a patient’s immune system perceives a donated organ as foreign and attempts to eradicate it, this is known as organ rejection.
